1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The ability to collect high-quality neuroimaging data during ambulatory participant movement would enable a wealth of neuroscientific paradigms. Wearable magnetoencephalography (MEG) based on optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) has the potential to allow participant movement during a scan. However, the strict zero magnetic field requirement of OPMs means that systems must be operated inside a magnetically shielded room (MSR) and also require active shielding using electromagnetic coils to cancel residual fields and field changes (due to external sources and sensor movements) that would otherwise prevent accurate neuronal source reconstructions. Existing active shielding systems only compensate fields over small, fixed regions and do not allow ambulatory movement. Here we describe the matrix coil, a new type of active shielding system for OPM-MEG which is formed from 48 square unit coils arranged on two planes which can compensate magnetic fields in regions that can be flexibly placed between the planes. Through the integration of optical tracking with OPM data acquisition, field changes induced by participant movement are cancelled with low latency (25 ms). High-quality MEG source data were collected despite the presence of large (65 cm translations and 270° rotations) ambulatory participant movements.
